This example visualizes the 256-color palette available in modern terminal emulators, dividing it into system colors, a 6x6x6 color cube, and a grayscale ramp. It uses a Perl script with ANSI escape sequences and terminal control codes to both define the RGB values for each color index and render swatches as colored background blocks. The code explicitly sets the color definitions via OSC sequences and displays them using SGR background escape codes, producing a direct textual grid of the palette.
